THE FRENCH MINISTRY.
It's Early Downfall Predicted on All
Sides
CIemenceau Only waiting an Opportunity
to Put n Quictus to the Men Who Downed
Boulanger.

| PARIS, June There having been no
session of the Chamber of Deputies to-day,
the new Minister'S breathe freer, and could
confidently predict for themselves u
tenure of office extending over further
period of twenty-four hours. They arc
not to lie upon bed of roses during the
next three days, however, and it would
surprise nobody to see NJ Rouvier place
their designations in the hands of Presi-
dent Grevy before Saturday. M. Clemen-
ceau is awaiting an opportunity to strangle
the life out of the new Government and il
is conceded on all sides that he will not
have to wait long. Ii the Cabinet does not
fall to pieces through lack of self-confi-
dence, it will certainly come to grief on
the budget or the question of the compul-
sorry military service of seminarists. NJ.
Henri Rochefort denounces the Cabinet as
having been constructed with view of
placatng Germany and demands its imme-
diate resignation. General Boulanger's
circular in taking leave of the army as
Minister of War receives severe criticism
at the hands of the German press, and is
unanimously characterized as the fulmina-
tion of another Bombastes Furioso. The
same papers regard the position of tho
new Cabinet with misgivings for its sta
bility, and predict that it's determination
to maintain the efficiency of the army, as
left by General Boulanger and to enforce
the conditions of military service required
by his bill, with the additional provisions
proposed by General Ferron, will result
in overthrow. There has been no
repetition to-day of the disturbances
made last night in front of tho
Opera-house in favor of General Boulan-
ger. The excitement has generally sub
sided. The Radical press to-day again de-
nounce the Rouver Cabinet, while the
Conservative papers rejoice at the rup-
ture between the Radical and the Oppor-
tunsts, as they hope that the split will re-
suit in profit for the Conservatives.

Rich Gold Strike.

CRY OF MEXICO, June IAN important
strike, made in novel manner, is reported
from the Conception mine, Tlalpujahua, a
st. Louis property. On one or two places
little grading had to be done, and the
workmen came upon the outcropping of a
vein. The fragments of ore looked so rich
that investigation was made. AS re-
suit ore has been taken from just below
the surface which runs forty dollars to
the ton.

ills.
DUBLIN, June 5.-Michael Davitt ad-
dressed a Nationalist meeting in the
Bodyke District to-day. He again urged
the people to offer the utmost resistance
to eviction and to retake possession
of their houses when they have been
evicted. He declared that it was the
duty of the manhood of the dis
trict to assemble and rebuild houses that
have been razed. He announced his in
tention to hold a meeting next Sunday of
thirty or forty thousand men, for the pur-
pose of rebuilding every house demolished
during the past or coming week. Care
should be taken, he said, that pecuniary
and generous assistance be given during
the incarceration Of members of any family.
He suggested that fund be opened to carry
on the plan of campaign upon more ex.
tended basis, and he promised to subscribe
e100 himself. He expected that within
six weeks 910O,0OO would be subscribed in
Ireland, and within six months e1,OOO, 900
would be collected throughout the civil
lied world

Rain in the Cotton Belt.

GALVESTON, TEX, June 1.-The record of
the rain fall for May throughout the cot
ton belt of Texas, as compared from Signal
Service reports, shows more satisfactory
condition of affairs than on May l. The
mean precipitation over agricultural Tex
as for May was 1856 inches, which is about
inch less than the average during the
past five years. Eastern Texas and these
sections as a consequence report u most
favorable outlook for cotton.

gardless of denominational lines, ANNOUNCE
ing that at the solicitation Of many earn
est friends of Prohibition, the Alliance

daur, turning his head leisurely, saw Han
lan's head over his right shoulder. This
was at the end of the second mile Gau-
daur gained steadily up to within half a
mile Of the finish, and did so without APP
parent effort. Here Hanlan spurted. From
four lengths behind he crawled up
to within two. Gaudaur took in the situa-
tion, bent his chin a little nearer his knees,
stretched out his long arms, and Han.
lan's squirt counted for naught. Gaudaur
was almost at the finish when he observed
that he was pointing for the line outside
of the buoy, which would have disquali-
fed him. He had barely room to
change his course, and in doing SO
was obliged to be satisfied with q
finish two lengths in advance. The
close finish was observed with consider
able enthusiasm, and by many it was
thought to be due wholly to q second squirt
by Hanlan.
Seen in his dressing room five minutes
after the finish Hanlan looked none the
worse for his struggle. But he was not in
happy frame of mind, though apparently
calm and resigned. ~ was beaten fairly"
he said, "but don't think the best man
won."
Unofficial timers made the time 1873
The official timer, Lyman B. Glover, stopped
his watch at 20:29. This undoubte edly
was the correct time. At the conclusion Of
the race some of Hanlan's friends asserted
their belief that with three weeks more
work he could beat Gaudaur. The friends
Of the latter are not only positive that he
can beat Hanlan and give the latter any
amount Of time to fit himself, but express
anxiety to match their man against any
sculler in the world for from &, 500 to slO,-
600 side.
The champion. Jacob Gill Gaudaur, was
born at Orillia, Ont, about forty miles
north OF Toronto, April 4, 1858. His first
experience in a shell was in 1878. The fol-
lowing year he finished third in the regatta
won by Wallace Ross. In 1889 he removed
to st. LOUIS. There he attracted the
attention of Mr.. j. A. st. John,
one of the most enthusiastic patrons
of sculling in the country, who
secured him tirst-class boats and en-
abled him To take proper training. His
performance at the Pullman regatta OF
1888, in which he was third to Hanlan and
Teemer, attracted marked attention. Since
then he has probably taken better care Of
himself than any athlete in the world, and
his progress has been steady and
brilliant At Pullman June IL of last
year he defeated Teemer for the Amer.
lean championship. Two months later
he went to England to meet William
Beach, of Australia, for the championship
OF the world. They rowed on the Thames
course, from Putney to Nor tlake, Septem-
ber 20, and Beach won by two lengths
after the hardest struggle that ever took
place in single scull contest. While he
was in England the match decided yester-
day was made for him by Dick Roche, of
St Louis.

OF half mile and turn for $50 side not
less than 5000 were present. Bubear
easily won from Plaisted and preparations
were at once made for the event of the
day. Hamilton Busby, of the Turf, Field
aud Farm, was the referee, and the course
was three miles with turn.
Gaudaur used a Paddock she'll of cedar
thirty-one and half feet in length, and
having a rolling seat Hanlan's craft was
of the same dimensions, of the Blake model,
having also rolling seat. The start was
made at 4:52 p. In. on q course almost as
rough as the shells could ride. Gau-
daur's first strokes gave him lead Of
quarter of length, but at the end of
minute he had been left a full length in
the rear Gaudaur's stroke was then 32
to tho minute against Hanlan's 81 Both
men were pulling evcnly full, strong
stroke. The breeze was nearly dead ahead,
but its effect lmperceptible. Both men
seemed to be making almost the maximum
amount of speed with an equal lack of eff.
fort For mile and a half there was not
the slightest change, except that both
men were rowing about four strokes per
minute less than at the start There
was considerable anxiety at this stage
lest sudden squall should end the race
by swamping the shells, but the danger
passed by in shower of rain and a slight
freshening of the breeze. Hanlan turned
the stake still retaining his lead of about q
length, and those whose faith in Gaudaur
had been unlimited began to wonder If the
Canadian was not, after all, about to
redeem himself in the eyes of the

short duration. The long armed Missourian
